Principal Induction

As we worked on this activity I thought it was interesting to hear what my group and what the entire class had to say on this subject. My group (Jim, Chad, Troy & I) had at least 2 people agree on almost all of our top five choices. Two of the choices I had on there that I feel strongly about are supervision/evaluation and recruiting and hiring. Principals can make themselves look very smart by hiring great teachers and can get rid of the bad ones by watching them closely and giving them appropriate evaluations to ensure they do not come back. As a future administrator all of the items listed were important but I found it very intriguing most of the class agreed on a select few.
